I want CPack to build packages that result in installing files in a particular 
structure, regardless of whether I'm using TGZ, ZIP, NSIS, RPM, etc.  I'm 
having trouble making this work and need help.

Let me make things concrete.  I have successfully configured CMake to install 
platform-specific files as follows:

directories/leading/to/my/installation/files/
   platform1/
      product/
         version/
            files (more subdirectories, but irrelevant)
   platform2/
      product/
         version/
            files (more subdirectories, but irrelevant)
   etc.

I want to build a ZIP or TGZ package of the platform directories above, change 
to some desired directory, decompress the .tgz or .zip file, and wind up with 
the above structure in the current directory.  That is, nothing from 
"directories/leading/to/my/installation/files" should appear in the current 
directory.

Likewise, I want an NSIS installer or RPM that will create that directory 
structure in either a default location from my CMakeLists.txt or in a directory 
selected by the user during installation (via the GUI for NSIS or --prefix for 
rpm).

What must I do to effect this?
